Dear all, When I use solve, the variable to be solved for sometimes appears on both sides of the solution. Example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 3.0.2, Release Date: 2008-05-24 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: var('wcnew,epsln,ysnew,delyu,sumsunew,sunlayersnew,delyu,nlayers,ysnew,cz,zr') (wcnew, epsln, ysnew, delyu, sumsunew, sunlayersnew, delyu, nlayers, ysnew, cz, zr) sage: solve(wcnew==epsln*(ysnew + ((delyu*sumsunew + ....: sunlayersnew*(delyu*(1 - nlayers) + sqrt((cz - ysnew)*(cz - zr))))* ....: sqrt((cz - ysnew)*(cz - zr)))/(cz - zr)),ysnew) [ysnew == (-delyu*epsln*(nlayers*sunlayersnew - sunlayersnew - sumsunew)*sqrt((ysnew - cz)*zr - cz*ysnew + cz^2) - cz*(epsln*sunlayersnew*zr + wcnew) + wcnew*zr + cz^2*epsln*sunlayersnew)/(epsln*(zr - sunlayersnew*zr) + cz*epsln*(sunlayersnew - 1))] In the above example, ysnew still appears in the sqrt terms on the right hand side. Does anyone know how such an equation can be solved? Thanks in advance!
